Hiatus Update

A lot has happened since my last update.My sister and her family moved to Black Forest, Colorado.We flew there to visit them for a few days over the 4th of July weekend and had a great time.Then one day after getting home, my wife had her thyroid removed at Mercy Hospital in Edmond, OK.She’s doing fine.

In less important news, we got a new computer at the house.An AMD Athlon 64 system from CyberPower Systems.I can’t recommend them highly enough.I have never paid so little money for so much computer.It even has an nVidia Geforce 7800 GTX, the fastest gaming card available right now.It runs Halflife 2 with maximum settings in all areas and at 1920 x 1440 resolution at well over 60 frames per second.Seriously.The thing doesn’t even break a sweat.

I’ve finished several games and need to get reviews up (is it narcissism to think anybody cares?), so I’ll do that soon.If you’re still reading this, thanks for stopping by.

We just renewed our reseller status with a few firms and should have the www.militechsystems.com computer manufacturing firm up in a few days. Web hosting services are also scheduled for a mid-August public launch, coinciding with the date of the original kidnapping in Texas (August 18th 2001).

Despite some rather blatent demands for money from the LLC in a new piece of defamation (9-30-2003), State and Federal Authorities still refuse to seek criminal charges on the grounds that 'custody matters are civil, and this remains a custody matter' despite supporting threat to murder in the seperation and concealment and justification of abduction on the grounds of my denial of access to corporate credit lines for personal use by the abducting parent.

A recent CPS investigation closed in 6 days without contacting any witnesses, and the day the letter arrived clearing the abductors we recieved 13 virus emails to my personal account - all trojans of the same base type disguised as various attachements, vcards, and signature files. The attack was unusual because it hit only one address (the one I used in Dallas), and ended the same day it began - pointing to a single source. Retaliatory strikes like this are typical of the behavior pattern we have seen in attempting to take action against this abduction, including several IP-based attacks on company networks and domains tracable to Dallas facilities where the abductors had network access.

I have to thank you for the efforts you've put in penning this site. I am hoping to check out the same high-grade blog posts by you later on as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own, personal blog now ;)

Favorite Books

Ravi Zacharias: Can Man Live Without God?An amazing book that makes the case for God not by citing the Bible or great theologians, but by analyzing the philosophies of famous atheists and showing their flaws.

C. S. Lewis: Mere ChristianityC.S. Lewis was an atheist for much of his life. Appropriately, this book makes the case for the existance of God first and Christianity second with carefully outlined and surprisingly simple reasoning. I consider this required reading for anyone searching for meaning.

C. S. Lewis: Space TrilogyReligious Sci-Fi Fantasy: A very tiny genre. In "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hiddeous Strength", C.S. Lewis manages to tackle difficult theological questions as we follow Dr. Ransom in his adventures on Mars, Venus, and back on Earth. My favorite science fiction series by far.
